The Trial, Kajol's debut OTT series, has gotten favourable reviews from the general public. There are various other parts in the courtroom drama that also drew inspiration from actual occurrences from the American television programme The Good Wife. One in particular involved Manasvi Mamgai, who played Juhi Bhatia, the girlfriend of cricketer Mohit Singh, who passed away under suspicious circumstances, and the subsequent media trials. Those who are familiar with the story will immediately make the connection to the case of Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea Chakraborty.?
During an interview with India Today, the actress revealed, ¡°This is inspired by a real incident that happened, so I had a lot of material to see online. I also coincidentally knew both of the people (Sushant & Rhea) involved in the incident, The Trial, is inspired by. So that way there is a lot to see, to be able to prepare and I think because the cast, the director Suparn, he is so amazing to work with, they were very supportive."
She added, "I didn¡¯t reach out to her. Consequently, while I was shooting in Mumbai, I happened to meet her at like 1 or 2 events, so it was interesting. I interacted with Rhea, who kind of inspired me. So, I met her. She is as lovely as always," she added.
She continued by saying that even after going through all of these things, Rhea still maintains her natural beauty, humility, and aura. She is really strong and hasn't let her down, so she finds it to be very good to meet someone who has experienced so much. Seeing her is so motivating. She is very strong.
Kajol said: ¡°The great thing about Noyonika is that every woman identifies with her. As women, we are taught to be a good mother, a good wife, a good person and to fulfill all of these roles to the nth degree at every point in your life.¡±
?¡°That¡¯s where Noyonika was at, where she felt like she¡¯s perfect at everything and at the same time when her world came crumbling down she realised that she can¡¯t be good at everything, she cannot be a good wife and a good mother and a good person, there are so many facets and she cannot manage all those balls and she realises that it doesn¡¯t matter at the end of day,¡± she added.
